Al Jazeera is coming to America  courtesy of former Vice President Al Gore and entrepreneur Joel Hyatt. The Arab network, funded by Qatar, has just bought Current TV  the low rated liberal cable station Gore and Hyatt founded  for a reported $500 million. The deal gives the anti-Israeli Arab network access to 40 million homes in the United States.

Beyond bringing anti-Israeli propaganda into these new American outlets, Al Jazeera has a long record as the chosen news outlet for Al Qaeda and other terrorist cells. It was through them that Osama bin Laden would regularly post videos attacking the west and calling for renewed acts of terror. Having this network available in the US might also afford terrorist groups a new method of communicating with one another. At the very least, it will help whip up enthusiasm among Islamic viewers in America for jihadist terrorism. Some fear that its message will actually cause an uptick in domestic terrorism.

To its credit, Time Warner Cable announced that it will cancel its contract with Current so it will not have to show Al Jazeeras propaganda on its system. Their action keeps the station off 12.5 million homes. Thank you Time Warner.

Gore, who consistently postured himself as a friend of Israel, shows now how unreliable the Jewish States friends are when the chips  or the money  is down. It is estimated that Gore, who owns 20% of Current TV, will get $100 million for his share from the deal. Media reports indicate that the former VP was eager to close the deal before the higher income tax rates he supported kick in on January 1, 2013.

Indeed, it was the height of hypocrisy that Al Gore spoke warmly of Al Jazerra saying its mission was similar to that of Current TV, to give voice to those who are not typically heard, to speak truth to power, to provide independent and diverse points of view and to tell the stories that no one else is telling.

Among these diverse points of view might be terrorists. Fox News reports that Al-Jazeera has been criticized for having a pro-Islamist bent, and accused of working with members of Al Qaeda. Fox noted that one of its journalists was arrested in Israel in 2011 on suspicion of being an agent of the Palestinian group Hamas.

Not that Current TV is a world-beater. Its average prime time viewership is about 42,000 households. But, it remains to be seen if the pro-Israel former Governor of New York, Eliot Spitzer, will continue with the network under the new management. And the Islamist bias of the new network might pose a problem for womens rights advocates such as former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm who also hosts a prime time show on Current TV.

Thanks to friends of Israel like Gore and Hyatt, the Islamist movement has a new voice in the US.

For the record, Joel Hyatt is the son-in-law of morally diseased leftwing psychopath Howard Metzenbaum. He has a shady record of unethical conduct himself, like his filthy father-in-law, but generally kept out of the news by powerful democrat interests.

This is a 'treason' and it should not be decoded as anything else. Al Gore should be challenged and Repubs and good citizens all; must insure that Al Gore remains the public figure that he is; only now as 'Poster Boy' for the Left's ugly TRUTH.

There can be no mistaking the Left's alliance; and ideological sympathies with the worst of our planets enemies and that it is not a 'new' alliance; but an old one. And America; and voting citizens; must understand what it means; to have Leftist in power - and in control - of our lives; our Country and America's future.

Al Gore is a connect-the-dots, lesson per the truth of the Left; and their simpatico with the 'worst' of the world. . .

Call YOUR cable company and tell them to drop Current TV now that Al-Jazeera bought them. Don’t just talk to the first level people who handle complaints. Go UP the ladder of authority. Time Warner dropped Current TV as soon as the sale was made public. All other cable providers should as well.

Al-Jazeera is anti-American, anti-western, anti-Israel, and anti-Jewish. The English version appears less radical than the Arabic version, but the goals are the same. The tone is moderated as as not to frighten the viewers with their real intentions.

Tell them you do NOT want Current TV coming into your home, that merely blocking it is not enough. It may be part of a package you get. They will tell you to drop the package, but there is no reason to drop stations you still want. Just get them to remove Current TV. Call, call, call in protest!

Tell them Time Warner dropped them, and they should too! If you don’t want Al-Jazeera’s influence in this country, share this.

Maybe thats the plan: five minutes of Baghdad Bob news; then five minutes in a hut of a burqua bound beauty; then one minute of weather - hot, dry, sunny; - then nineteen minutes of ads!

Back in the 1950's or so, science fiction writer Robert Heinlein had a short story about a Soviet propaganda satellite designed to beam TV programs at the US. In the story, the satellite was very successful - the programming lineup was a few minutes of Pravda propaganda alternating with a few minutes of porn.
